I want to make a wallpaper and i got the image i want but its already in a picture. I got everything to be black but the image i want to (cut) but i cant seem to grab the image with anything to make it its own file without the background. What i want to accomplish is getting this image by itself…. and paste it over another background i have. essentially making the wallpaper with the background i have already with the image i want on it.

i can use the color grabbing tool to grab all of the black spots but i cannot cut them out or anything. And i cannot use the magnetic tool to get the image fully and copy it. Im out of ideas and i know im not really good at this, but can some1 please help me by posting it or emailing me at Thanks to any1 with some advice in advance.

Use the magic wand to select the ‘black’ background.

Hit Ctrl+Shift+I to invert the selection.

Hit Ctrl+J to create a new layer based on the selection.

You can now drag the image minus its background into your new document.

Chris.

PS: for a more accurate cut-out with edge blending try the Extract Tool. (in the filters menu)
